Overview
This classification, HTS Code 0511.91.00.10, specifically covers fertilized fish eggs. These are the eggs of aquatic creatures, typically of species listed in Chapter 3 of the Harmonized System, that have undergone fertilization and are intended for propagation or aquaculture purposes. The key defining characteristic is the state of fertilization, which distinguishes them from unfertilized eggs or roe.
Within the broader category of "Products of fish or crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates; dead animals of chapter 3," this subheading is differentiated from its sibling, 0511.91.00.90, which is designated for "Other" products within this group that are not fertilized fish eggs. Therefore, any products within this section that do not meet the criteria of being fertilized fish eggs would fall under the residual "Other" classification.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level relies solely on the identification of fertilized fish eggs. Examples would include the fertilized eggs of species commonly raised for consumption or stocking, such as salmon, trout, or tilapia, provided they are presented in a state suitable for incubation.
